Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami
Presents stories that sidestep the real and sprint for the surreal. This book includes diverse stories where everyday events are transcended, including the story of a young man who accompanies his cousin to the hospital to check an unusual hearing complaint; a couple's relationship that gets unbalanced; and more.
Haruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949. Following the publication of his first novel in Japanese in 1979, he sold the jazz bar he ran with his wife and became a full-time writer. It was with the publication of Norwegian Wood -- which has to date sold more than 4 million copies in Japan alone -- that the author was truly catapulted into the limelight. Known for his surrealistic world of mysterious (and often disappearing) women, cats, earlobes, wells, Western culture, music and quirky first-person narratives, he is now Japan's best-known novelist abroad. Eight novels, two short story collections and one work of non-fiction are currently available in English translation. Stories translated by Jay Rubin and Philip Gabriel
